Desert dream

Dark, thick dust storms everywhere
The wind blew sand into my hair
The smell of danger's in the air
Prepare for the worst

My heart went down like an airplane
Now stranded in a cruel terrain
Where the earth is dry and there is no rain
No rain at all

At night I dream of a desert land
And find I'm drowning in the sand
Hour glass upon my bed side stand
Running with the second hand
Keep close what you love
Keep fears even closer

Days down the road and the outlooks dim
Just like the sun as the clouds roll in
My heart and skin burned by the wind
Gotta' get up again

I struggle daily to survive
The sand eats hearts like mine alive
Many have come this way to die
But it's not over yet

At night I dream of a desert land
And find I'm drowning in the sand
Hour glass upon my bed side stand
Running with the second hand
Keep close what you love
Keep fears even closer
